My host has an interface for Cron Jobs where I can browse to the file and set the time in a pull down window. There is a note that says:

"In case you use a PHP cron script, please set its first line to: #!/usr/local/bin/php.cli"

I've searched through the drupal to find the spot that calls this information - but can't find it. Where do I put this info? Am I over simplifying by choosing "cron.php" and trying to add this line somewhere?

note: if I just choose cron.php, I get a fatal exec format error.

TIA!

The line should go at the start of cron.php in your drupal base directory; it tells the server’s OS which program to use when executing the file cron.php .

Thank you for that info. When I put the line in and run cron, I get these warnings. Are they a problem? Can I suppress them?

  1. Enter 'headers already sent' into the search box at the top right of most drupal.org pages.
  2. Click on the first result.
  3. Check your cron.php.
